It is learnt from unconfirmed sources that the BCCI has given in to Lalit Modi’s threats and carrot and stick method. All senior BCCI officials are aware that while Lalit Modi may or may not be guilty of wrong doing and other allegations leveled against him, he has loads of information and data which could be used to rock many a boat in the BCCI.
Lalit Modi’s internal and secret information could even rock the government. Two to three Union Ministers are already in trouble and many more skeletons may come out of the closet if the BCCI takes on Lalit Modi head on.
This fact was impressed upon Shashank Manohar by Sharad Pawar who has been brokering peace between the warring parties who offered a mid-way for both the parties.
Sharad Pawar’s formula means that Lalit Modi will attend the governing council meeting on 26th and step down on his own. In return the BCCI will allow Lalit Modi to continue as Vice President and not SACK HIM. The IPL Commissioner’s post may be re-constituted and re-engineered with someone like Ravi Shastri taking over with much reduced powers.
According to the latest news sources, Lalit Modi has agreed to step down as IPL Commissioner. Sharad Pawar who has been trying to broker peace between the BCCI and Lalit Mod has worked out a compromise deal between the Lalit Modi and Shashank Manohar.
Apparently Lalit Modi has agreed to step down after the finals on 25th April or latest 26th April. This development happened after Sharad Pawar got BCCI President Shashank Manohar to speak to Lalit Modi on Friday night. According to sources, the two hadn’t spoken to each other for the last ten days and haven’t met face to face for the last 12 days.
A compromise formula has been worked out. Shashank Manohar told Lalit Modi he has to resign or step down. According to Manohar, all the government agencies – the IT dept, the DRI, the CBDT and including the CBI has been knocking on the BCCI doors and the BCCI is under investigation from all fronts. Also the ruckus in parliament, the demand for a joint parliamentary probe by the opposition, the inclusion of other political names were sparked off after Lalit Modi’s spat with Shashi Tharoor and his arbitrary and uncalled for tweets on Twitter.
Lalit Modi who was buying for time and pleading for a few days to prepare his defense lost his footing when his only supporter Sharad Pawar told him in no uncertain terms that he must go.
